Sapphire Embossing Stylus (Short Shank) by Presto Recording Co

Regular price $99.99


These styli are meant for embossing on Polycarbonate or PETG plastic.

This product is for the Short Shank variety.

  • Short Shanks for Grampian, Audax, Presto 5C, Mag, Fairchild, RCA, Olsen
  • Short Thin Shanks for 80s Japanese lathes (Hara, Van Rock, Atom, etc) that may require a thinner shank
  • Long Shanks for Presto 1c, 1d

Fidelity-wise, they are a very good mid-point between lo-fi tungsten and high fidelity diamond cutting styli.  They have much more clarity and high end and a very low noise floor when compared to tungsten styli, but they don't require heat or vacuum, and are less expensive for the hi-fi diamond styli. 

Your results will vary depending on equipment and experience, but we typically get at least 200-300 7" sides at least out of each one. Once the needle starts to get noisy after typical use, you can rotate the stylus in the head a couple times to get new, quiet faces.

Notice: Styli vary by unit. The stylus you receive may not look exactly like the ones picture.
